After listening to Fugaku Uchiha's explanation, Sasuke Uchiha slowly nodded.
Beside Sasuke, Itachi Uchiha also quietly committed his father's words to memory.
Fugaku looked at his two sons, his brow slightly furrowed, deep worry hidden in his heart.
But the brothers' thoughts had already drifted involuntarily toward the Light Screen suspended in the sky.
Pure Land
Clouds and mist rolled lazily, and everything was quiet save for the slow movement of air through the void.
Uchiha Hikari tilted her head, her Sharingan turning gently, her mind brimming with questions.
She turned toward Uchiha An beside her. "Brother, there's something I still don't understand. Kagami Uchiha was successfully resurrected on the Light Screen just now,"
"and a brand-new pair of Mangekyō Sharingan appeared in his previously empty eye sockets."
"But after it showed your battle footage, why weren't you resurrected too?"
Uchiha An stood with his arms folded, gazing into the hazy void in the distance.
After carefully considering the Light Screen's rules, he slowly spoke. "I think I've figured out how the Light Screen's resurrection mechanism works."
"Kagami could be resurrected just now because the footage it featured didn't show him at his strongest."
"The Light Screen replayed his past power, so it triggered his resurrection and gave him a new pair of Mangekyo Sharingan."
He raised a hand and pointed at the Light Screen high above, continuing his explanation. "But the power shown in that battle of mine was already my current peak."
"Since the version of me in the footage was already at my peak, it naturally wouldn't trigger a resurrection."
"By that logic, only when the Light Screen shows footage of me breaking through my limits and surpassing my current peak will I be drawn into the resurrection mechanism and granted a new life."
Understanding dawned
